Mayor who would execute the laws:
take the lead in public improve
ments; make the people pay for
keeping the town clean, comely and
healthful; with courage to suggest,
carry forward and consummate-
something! bisa
We would erect Il monument to
such Mayor
We would invite Patrick Henry.
down and set that Mayor on the
court house cupola!
Oh, for Boss Sheppard to have
one term as Mayor Of Morgantownl
Ex. President Hairy and the
West Virginia Railroad
AS will be seen from extract from
Pittsburg papers, the late President
of the West Va. Railroad has got
himself sued by the contractor, Mr..
Albert Pitcairn. We learn that A. G.
Hairy, who made great pretentions
at the time he was elected President
of the company, and given almost
unlimited power, as to his ability
to raise all the money needed, has
almost wholly failed in every effort
he has made. He spent some of his
own money, raised $1,000 besides,
and all the money raised and paid
out by the company has been raised
without him and indeed in the face
of his indiscreet management and
bad reputation. At recent meet
ing of Directors his resignation was
requested, and on his refusal to re
sign he was removed by a unanimous
vote of the Directors present.
While acting as President he had
received $4,000 in the first mortgage
bonds of the company to be disposed
Of for the use of the company and
without any intention or design that
he should use or appropriate the
same to himself, or in any other way
than for the company. Recently he
has been claiming the bonds as his
4 property, trying to sell them at a
! discount and refusing to return them
or account for them. The result
was his removal from the Presidency
and the suit to restrain the sale o.
, the bonds, and compel their return
, The restraining order has been grant
ed, will no doubt be perpetuated, az
he can bring no legal claim to thu
/, bonds, except by virtue of his office
. and that has been terminated. Al
to his claim that he is entitled tt
,, them for services and expenses rem
dered and incurred as President, i
| must fall to the ground for the reason
2 that his compensation can only b
e allowed or fixed by the stockholders
: which has never been done. N
doubt he will be allowed a reasona
r. BILE compensation, but in the mean
. time he cannot appropriate the bond
q of the company for his pay. and fl
the amount at his own will.
.el In the meantime the affairs of til
q company will not be disturbed i
the least by the suit or Hatry's re
moval. He and the first contracto
= Freeland, illustrate the fact that tn
y parties who are building this raj
road arc Very much an earnest, an
. that any officer OF other person VIII

e. The Farmers Organization
a After several preliminary meeting
Il the farmers of Monongalia hav,
4 probably, secured the basis of pei
g manent organization.
III AS the New DOMINION was tn
q first to suggest this movement an
y continued to urge it until the inter
est of the farmers was aroused t
4 its Importance, we may be Above
q to make suggestion or two in n
n gard to what we conceive to be th
+ proper purpose and aims Of such a
organization.
We are prompted to this becaus
